I meant to go to bed... About two hours ago.

It is now 2:40 in the morning, I finally started NaNoWriMo today, and I managed to bang out the 1667 words... but instead of going to bed I completely erased my whiteboard and started planning out the main character, the antagonists, the plot, even the animals in my book! It's not a good plot, it's not a very original plot, but it will at least get me moving in a forward direction, which is better than last year already. Last year's story stayed in one place for a very long time. In fact, last year I quit, so it has stayed in that place indefinitely.

My whiteboard is, by the way, not nearly big enough. And now it is occupied for the month of november in something that is not it's job. It's job is for me to write my weekly schedule on, including homework that is due.

Speaking of homework, I have a seven page paper due on monday... Catch up on Wrimoing or write paper... hmm... well, my soul has already been eaten.

Anyone else finding their novel keeping them up into the early morning hours?

Three in the morning here, and I still want to get 10k by 'tonight'. Only 'tonight' was a loooong time ago.
